Objectives

Describe the role of diet in the pathophysiology of disease and the therapeutic benefits of specific nutrients and dietary practices.
General Objectives

Part 3 / Medical Foundation 3 / Gastroenterology and Nutrition

During the past decade, rapid expansion in a number of relevant scientific fields and, in particular, in the amount of population-based epidemiological evidence has helped to clarify the role of diet in preventing and controlling morbidity and premature mortality resulting from noncommunicable diseases (NCDs). Dietary practices likely play a major role in 7/10 top causes of disease and death including: heart disease, obesity, diabetes, osteoporosis and certain cancers. The mechanisms of the chronic disease process are clearer, and interventions have been demonstrated to reduce risk. In MF3, the overall objective is to learn normal nutrition and metabolism and to begin to understand the role of diet and specific nutrients and bioactive components of foods in disease prevention and treatment, and some of the major research that underlies dietary recommendations.
General Objectives

Part 3 / Medical Foundation 3 / Gastroenterology and Nutrition

Define osteoporosis and list secondary causes for this condition.
General Objectives

Part 3 / Medical Foundation 3 / Endocrinology

Upon completion of this problem, students will outline the key hormones and organs or tissues involved in calcium homeostasis, as well as the causes and consequences of hypercalcemia. Students will also be able to describe the histological structure of bone, the physiology of bone formation and remodeling and the pathophysiology of osteoporosis.
Global Objectives
